The following text is for questions 1 to 4

The government has decided to submit the draft of the bill against pornography and
pornographic acts. The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography is punishable by law.
This includes public acts such as spouses kissing and people sunbathing in bikini or
swimwear. As a consequence, the bill causes controversy.
he government argues that the bill is made to protect women’s right. Women have so far been
the object of exploitation in mass media and this only gives more benefits to the owner of the
business.

Woman activists, on the other hand, argue that the bill will limit women’s freedom. They
believe the bill will dictate what women should wear and on how to dress and behave. If they
fail following the rule they will get penalties between Rp50 million and Rp1 billion.

the bill can decrease the rampant pornography shown or written in mass media that gives bad
effects on young generations.

15. Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is desirable for the
good of the family and society. But individuals and groups– especially religious
groups–differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and
acceptable.

Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to limit
or space their children or to have no children at all. Young couples often postpone
having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples space their
children so they can give each child as much attention as possible. Some women are
advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many countries with
rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to limit the size of
their families.

Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice is
continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations outside
marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some religious groups
oppose birth control on moral grounds.

Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral
because they separate the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–conjugal love and
the procreation of children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they
consider natural family planning acceptable.
